Thanks, all.  Actually I had figured it out before your reply (before 2:00 AM my time! zzzz)
The original wavs were recorded at a 22 mhz rate.  After much searching through the 
reference pdf's, I finally found the sample rate conversion tool (in the audio sample editor, 
the window that shows the waveform - a menu item there).  That did the trick.

Thanks again.
